Bug Description
On Ubuntu 12.04 fully patched, this weekend I attempted to apply the samba 2:3.6.25-
I have taken log snapshots with Samba logging set to level 3 of a Windows XP virtual machine attempting to connect to the Samba PDC server.
From the working log I see:
switch message SMBwriteX (pid 4906) conn 0xb82f9978
api_rpcTNP: rpc command: NETR_LOGONSAMLOGON
schannel_
schannel_
Forcing Primary Group to 'Domain Users' for mdlueck
Whereas in the not working log I see at the same spot:
switch message SMBwriteX (pid 21144) conn 0xb96f7200
srv_pipe_
Perhaps did Samba make a change that requires something to be specified in the smb.conf to accept connections from legacy clients?
This may be related to that debian bug report from samba at the very same date:
https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 820981
I looks like some people manage it installing winbind. I worked it around downgrading samba and related packages.
